The cabinet also approved the new sand policy introduced by the state government. The sand is free and the customer has to pay the excavation and transport charges, as per the new sand policy. The state government would frame rules for the new sand policy and continue the scheme in the state. The cabinet cleared the proposal.

The amount would be spent only to purchase paddy from the farmers. The cabinet also approved the proposal to take a loan of Rs 2,000 crore for the civil supplies department.
The cabinet approved the proposal to convene Andhra Pradesh assembly from July 22. The Assembly has to pass the 2024-25 budget by the present government.
